Our Solution

For households:

BioSand Filters (BSFs), a Canadian invention, use layers of sand, gravel, and naturally occurring micro-organisms to transform contaminated water into safe water in seconds. In addition to a BSF, families receive health and hygiene training and when appropriate a latrine. As a result, not only is their thirst quenched, but their health and income also improve—what’s more, children can be saved from devastating illness and even death. Click here to donate

For schools:

This solution can include a Samaritan Filter, hand-washing stations, health and hygiene training, as well as male and female latrines. Your contribution can help keep up to 225 students healthy and engaged in class by keeping them hydrated with safe water that won’t hurt them—or their education—while also reinforcing good hand-washing habits.

For communities:

Samaritan’s Purse builds water wells, rainwater reservoirs, and storage tanks that give the gift of water security to struggling communities for years to come. Combined with health and hygiene training and latrines, villages can conquer water-related challenges. Click here to donate
